Ifeanyi’s death has remained a very hard pill to swallow, not just for singer Davido, his wife Chioma, and family, but also for social media users who loved the bubbly champ.
Although his parents have been blessed with twins – a boy and a girl, his death remains a pain in their hearts.
In a new development, the singer was asked how he got through the tough times, and his response was simply his family. They showed him so much love and support and were there for his family.

@christ4moi said:
“While I understand that it can be difficult letting go of the memory of a deceased child, i think it’s good to tell @davido that genetics doesn’t work like reincarnation. It’s not your late son reborn—it’s your genes showing up again in a new child. Science, not spirituality.”

Police speak on CCTV video
According to a previous report by TheTalk.NG, the video purportedly showing Ifeanyi Adeleke, son of Davido, as he drowned in a swimming pool was described by Lagos police as “fake”.
Benjamin Hundeyin, a Lagos police spokesman, said the security agency had not started reviewing the CCTV footage collected from Davido’s house.
A fact-check by the BBC Disinformation Unit confirmed that the video was that of a child who drowned in a children’s swimming pool in China in 2019.
